Raspberry Pi Challenge 2015 winners

Posted on 6 November 2015

Inventive and imaginative ideas by our new undergraduate students

The Raspberry Pi Challenge in the Department is growing in popularity. This is the third time we have run the event and have more students signed up for the challenge than we have ever had before. This year we have mixed the event up with some new challenges. The response has been amazing and the students brought some very inventive and imaginative ideas.

The challenges this year consisted of:

The Pi Square Challenge, two Raspberry Pi computers battling against each other in a variant of the classic paper and pencil game "squares". Very simply the contestant who captures the most squares wins. This was a knockout competition.

The second element to the Challenge was the Blue Pi Thinking - a chance for entrants to give their creativity full rein and come up with the most ingenious use of their Pi.
